.. _What-does-it-do:

What does it do?
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

- Migrates multicolumn containers to gridelements containers (including
  their contents of course), since both have a different DB structure
  but still enough in common so this can work. However, both extension
  are customizable and it is therefore next to impossible to make it
  work with every custom configuration.

- Finds out what different flexform configurations exist for different
  multicolumn containers, lists them and lets you optionally map them to
  different gridelement layouts.

- USE AT YOUR OWN RISK and MAKE BACKUPS of your database!

Users manual
------------

- Install gridelements in a version compatible to your TYPO3
  installation.

- Install this extension. It should work without including a static
  template, but if for some reason it doesn't, just include it in your
  root template. The use the BE module “Migrate Multicolumn to
  Gridelements”.

- Look at all the different Flexform configurations of existing
  multicolumn containers. Don't be discouraged if there seem to be
  incredibly many, different configurations can look exactly the same in
  the Front-End. If so you can map them all to the same gridelement
  layout. You get a list of all page-IDs on which a configuration is
  used, so you can see for yourself.It may be a good idea to take notes,
  so you can assign gridelement layouts to multicolumn layouts later.

- Create all the gridelement layouts you need.

- Go back to the module “Migrate Multicolumn to Gridelements”, assign
  gridelement layouts to multicolumn layouts (flexform configurations)
  if you wish. All other multicolumn layouts will be automatically
  assigned the standard gridelement layout that you can define right at
  the top of this view.

- Submit the assignments and see the results of a pre-test. Change your
  input or submit again to finally execute the changes.

- You should now have gridelement containers instead of multicolumn
  containers and their contents should be in all the right places.
